Title: Memory Occupancy Patterns in Garbage Collection Systems.
Authors: Davies, D. Julian M.
Source: Communications of the ACM. Aug1984, Vol. 27 Issue 8, p819-825. 7p. 3 Diagrams, 3 Charts.
Subjects: Dynamic storage allocation (Computer science), Garbage collection (Computer science), Computer memory management
Abstract: Focuses on a class of dynamic storage allocation systems which use a first-fit strategy to allocate cells for the dynamic memory allocation in garbage collection systems. Stochastic parameters that determine the utilization of memory in the allocation systems; Lifetime distributions of the cells described in the stochastic parameters; Requirements for noncompacting garbage collection.
